Starlink is a SpaceX project that delivers high-speed Internet via satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), minimizing latency and maximizing speed.

How does my Internet access become highly available with Starlink?

By combining Starlink satellite technology with 4G/5G mobile networks via powerful bonding routers, your connection stays up even if a single line fails.

What happens if my existing Internet line fails?

A bonding router such as the Peplink Balance 310X combines multiple connections using Peplink's SpeedFusion technology for true bandwidth aggregation with seamless failover, so your connection stays stable.

Does Ascend also support buying a Starlink kit?

Yes — we offer full advice on purchasing your own Starlink kit so you get the most out of your investment.

What does Starlink cost in Germany in 2026?

Pricing was adjusted several times in 2026 and depends on the plan (Residential, Roam and Business plans with Local/Global Priority) — starlink.com lists the binding, up-to-date prices. We're happy to calculate your overall solution including router hardware and failover.

Can I combine multiple Starlink connections, or Starlink with mobile data (bonding)?

Yes. With Peplink routers and SpeedFusion bonding, you combine multiple Starlink antennas, or Starlink plus LTE/5G and landline, into one logical connection — with added bandwidth, uninterrupted failover and central management via InControl.

Is Starlink alone enough for a business with high data volume and failover requirements?

Often yes for non-critical applications — but a single connection comes with no availability guarantee: weather, obstructions and maintenance windows can all cause interruptions. For business-critical requirements, we therefore combine Starlink via bonding with mobile data or a landline, so the failure of a single line has no impact.

High-Availability Internet Connections with Starlink

Starlink – Satellite Internet by SpaceX

Starlink, a SpaceX project, delivers high-speed Internet via satellite. By operating satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), Starlink minimizes latency and maximizes speed — unlike traditional satellites, which operate in much higher orbits. With several thousand active satellites at an altitude of around 550 km, Starlink is the largest satellite constellation in the world; typical latency sits at 25–60 ms, several times lower than classic geostationary satellite internet. Installing the Starlink antenna is an important step here: our technicians specialize in ensuring perfect positioning for maximum signal strength and reliability.

Scenario: dropped connections despite an existing Internet line

The Internet line in your office keeps dropping connections? Since both your existing Internet connection and Starlink occasionally lose connection, a bonding router could be the solution. We recommend the Peplink Balance 310X in combination with a bonding remote station in the Ascend data center. With Peplink's SpeedFusion technology, multiple Internet connections can be seamlessly combined — enabling higher bandwidth and a stable connection even if one of the connections fails.

Many providers sell Starlink as a standalone solution. Our approach is different: as a Peplink Certified Gold Partner, we combine Starlink with your existing landline or mobile connection into one failsafe overall solution. You'll find the right Peplink multi-WAN routers in the Ascend Shop — here's the difference at a glance:

Starlink Alone or Starlink with Peplink Bonding?

	Starlink Alone	Starlink + Peplink Bonding (Ascend Solution)
Failover	None — the connection is down during an outage	Uninterrupted hot failover to mobile or landline
Bandwidth bonding	No	Yes — multiple connections simultaneously (SpeedFusion)
Central management of multiple sites	No	Yes — via the InControl dashboard
Combinable with mobile/landline	No	Yes — LTE/5G, DSL and fiber

Our Routers – The Ideal Addition to Your Starlink System

To get the best out of your Starlink system, we recommend a selection of routers known for their reliability and advanced network management functions.

Peplink Balance 310X

Recommended as a bonding router for Starlink combined with an existing Internet line. Peplink's SpeedFusion technology seamlessly combines multiple connections into true bandwidth aggregation with seamless failover.

Peplink SDX Pro

In our live test we bundled Starlink, Telekom, Vodafone and O2 mobile communications with a Peplink SDX Pro into a VPN hub in our data center — including a live demonstration with a severed network cable, without interrupting the Internet connection.

Starlink: Benefits for Businesses and Private Users

Starlink is more than just an Internet service — a technological revolution with noticeable benefits.

Low latency, high bandwidth

Ideal for home office and streaming services thanks to low latency and high bandwidth.

Available worldwide

Thanks to satellites in low earth orbit (LEO), a high-quality Internet connection is available even in the most remote areas.

Easy installation

The lightweight, compact design of the Starlink satellite dishes makes installation and maintenance easy — customers can connect to the satellite Internet in just a few steps.

Opportunities for businesses

Starlink opens new doors for companies in remote or previously poorly connected regions to global networking.

Starlink Compared to Classic Landline Internet

How does Starlink internet compare to classic connections? On latency, Starlink's typical 25–60 ms sits between fiber (under 10 ms) and classic DSL (10–30 ms) — geostationary satellite internet, by contrast, runs at 600 ms and more. The decisive advantage: availability doesn't depend on civil engineering or trenching work. Where fiber can take years to arrive, Starlink is operational within days.

Typical use cases: rural sites with no fiber rollout, construction sites and temporary locations, branches still being built out, and backup lines for branches and data centers. For multi-site setups, we combine Starlink with SD-WAN; as a purely cellular-based alternative for on the move, take a look at mobile WLAN routers with unlimited data volume.
